Get Over It.

I need to get over a lot of things.

I need to take the advice I would give friends when they tell me certain problems...

"Get Over It."


Harsh?
And I never say that to be rude (in fact, I'm not sure I actually give that advice out loud), 
but honestly, it's really good advice.

I'm not saying get over it to all problems... like, your dog dies (sad!), or you have a big fight with your husband (sex!), or you got a really bad haircut (sacrilege!)

I'm not even sure when it's the best advice to give, but I've been telling myself these 3 little words a lot lately.

I try too hard to make everyone happy.
GET OVER IT.

I feel guilty sometimes when I want to spend time by myself, or with my little family of husband + doggie.
GET OVER IT.

I get jealous, or sad, or suspicious sometimes of other people.
GET. OVER. IT.
Big Time.

Not everyone is out to get me! 
Not everyone hates me!
Not everyone likes me!
GET OVER IT.

Or perhaps, what I really want to say is "get over yourself."

In the grand scheme of things, I have a great life, good friends, and happiness abounds.

What is this blog post anyways? Super rant. 
Wow.

One thing I'll never get over:

Justin Beiber talking about fondue in his song "Boyfriend".
And Buzz Lightyear for that matter.
Please, JB, no one is cool enough to sing about these things.

Tall Girl Problems

I love the internet.

I love that now you can find someone, 
somewhere in the world, that has felt the same way as you have.

Enter Tall Girl Problems.

This website made me giggle, and while I don't dislike being tall, have had so many Tall Girl Problems.

A Sampling.

 Great! Look, I'm on all fours and I'm still taller than you!

 My least favourite thing about being tall. 
Hint to all tall-ies out there - SmartSet yoga pants are long enough!!
 
 Always unfortunate. Also unfortunate - when your dad is walking you down the aisle and you are TOWERING over him. I love you Dad!

 I like freaking people out about this. 
And when I am wearing heels, all hell breaks loose.

 I don't see this as so much of a problem, because I love my boots. 
Although, summer is upon us.... and my jeans look rediculous with flip flops.... DAMN IT!

 If you give me some of your... wait, this is creepy.
 I'll keep my height, you keep your lame-ness.

It's a tough life out there for us.

 This one just made me laugh out loud.  I've been fortunate enough, 
while being gargantuan (... or 5'10"), I have smallish feet, a solid size 9. 
BUT, If my feet were "so big", I would absolutely respond with this.
 
 Wahhhhhhhh. I hate you 5'6"ers. 
xo 

.... and I saved my personal favourite for last.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! 
(This also makes me so happy because there is nothing I hate more than mini golf).

I actually really like being tall. 
It wasn't so great when I was at school dances in grade seven and the guys all came up to my boobs, but besides that, it's served me well.
